Based on your measurements, your estimated body fat percentage is 12.9%. This is calculated using the U.S. Navy method, which provides a reasonable estimate without clinical equipment.

Calculation Breakdown

BFP = 495 / (1.0324 - 0.19077 × log10(waist - neck) + 0.15456 × log10(height)) - 450

BFP = 495 / (1.0324 - 0.19077 × log10(80 - 38) + 0.15456 × log10(175)) - 450 ≈ 12.9%

Example

A male who is 180cm tall with a 85cm waist and 40cm neck would have an estimated body fat percentage of around 16.6%. This helps track body composition changes over time, which is often more meaningful than tracking weight alone.
